METALWORKS® Steel Shingles 50-Year Limited WarrantyTHIS LIMITED WARRANTY APPLIES ONLY TO PRODUCTS INSTALLED IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE FOLLOWING CANADIAN PROVINCES: BRITISH COLUMBIA, ALBERTA, ONTARIO, SASKATCHEWAN, MANITOBA, NEW BRUNSWICK AND QUEBEC. ALL PRODUCTS INSTALLED IN LOCATIONS WHERE THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY ARE SOLD “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

How Long Will Your Shingles Last: It is natural for your roof to age. The process begins as soon as your Shingles are installed and exposed to the harsh elements of nature. The length of time your Shingles will continue to perform their intended purpose of shedding water will depend on many factors including weather, snow, intensity of ultra-violet radiation from the sun, pollution , and debris from nearby trees. Because no two buildings experience these and other aging factors in the same way, it is difficult to accurately predict the period of time your Shingles will last. This Limited Warranty, subject to its terms and conditions, provides you a remedy during the Term (as defined below) in the event a manufacturing defect causes your Shingles to fail to perform their intended purpose of shedding water.
